A Body That Only One Million Moms Could Hate

[William769]

One Million Moms is at it again! We're glad they've got their panties in a bunch over something other than the gays, but their latest target's too hot not to defend.

In Let's Get Zesty, a smokin' new ad campaign for Kraft Zesty Italian, actor-model Anderson Davis stars as the Zesty Guy, the salad dressing's answer to Old Spice's Isaiah Mustafa and the Diet Coke's hunks.

Well, it should come as no surprise that OMM is now urging its followers to contact Kraft and demand that they discontinue the "offensive" campaign:

Last week's issue of People Magazine had the most disgusting ad on the inside front cover that we have ever seen Kraft produce. A full 2-page ad features a n*ked man lying on a picnic blanket with only a small portion of the blanket barely covering his g*nitals. It is easy to see what the ad is really selling. A person has to look closely to see the item the company is marketing because the salad dressing bottle is so small next to the male model, picnic basket and other food items. There is also a small Kraft logo in the upper corners with the words "Silverware Optional - Let's Get Zesty." The website getmezesty.com is listed in the bottom corner.

Kraft has gone too far and will push away loyal, conservative customers with this new ad campaign. Christians will not be able to buy Kraft dressings or any of their products until they clean up their advertising. The consumers they are attempting to attract - women and mothers - are the very ones they are driving away. Who will want Kraft products in their fridge or pantry if this vulgarity is what they represent?

One Million Moms cannot get over the gall of this company. It is unnecessary for Kraft to use s*x to sell salad dressing!

I'll bet 10 to 1 they think he's Gay!

[Brigid]

1. I think that is just disgusting.

Yes, Kraft went too far. They wanted attention, I guess they got it. Flame away.

[William769]

4. No flaming here.

Just leave me the zesty Italian!

[SemperEadem]

78. well played!

[idwiyo]

105. Not so fast! Take your place in queue and wait for your turn! :)

[redqueen]

28. +1

[MisterP]

55. no, disgusting would've been if they squirted him with the dressing

[Honeycombe8]

88. Hmmmmm. I don't find that disgusting.

[Skittles]

64. Hairy armpits and zesty Italian - not a good mix

[William769]

94. I thought they went hand & hand.

[Skittles]

109. a little manscaping is not a bad thing

I've never understood why men detest hairy armpits on gals and simply assume we gals think hairy armpit tufts are just A-OK

[MNBrewer]

112. manscaping is a TERRIBLE thing!

an abomination!

[Skittles]

120. I said a LITTLE

I do appreciate a hairy chest

[William769]

128. I agree.

I like au naturale.

[Quantess]

122. I convinced a guy to shave his pits in the middle of summer.

He said he didn't like the way the sweat rolled off his skin, without the hair to trap the sweat.

[Honeycombe8]

86. As a single woman, I think it's hot. But it's inappropriate for a family mag that kids

and people who intentionally avoid risque mags would read.

It would be fine in Cosmo, Vogue, or any woman's magazine, and possibly a few others aimed at certain kinds of adults.

[KoKo]

132. Agree ...it seems inappropriate for the product and for family mag.

"It would be fine in Cosmo, Vogue, or any woman's magazine, and possibly a few others aimed at certain kinds of adults."

[Wait Wut]

3. I was wondering when someone would say something.

I saw one of these commercials and thought it was bizarre. I loved the Old Spice commercials. They were 'fun sexy'. These Kraft ads are kinda creepy.

But, if it pisses off 'OMM' then I need to go buy some Kraft Zesty Italian.

Edit to add 'fun sexy' Now THIS is hot! He's friggin' cute as hell and isn't sweating all over my sammich!

[William769]

6. Good enough reason.

[OriginalGeek]

48. I'm for that

I don't mind at all pissing off all 43 of those million moms.

[Wait Wut]

50. LOL!

No kidding. Gotta give 'em credit, though. They can 'sound' like a million moms when they all start shrieking about some horrific injustice...like marriage equality.

[SemperEadem]

79. exactly....

they wished they had one million moms...

[Luminous Animal]

5. But... but... they are trying to attract MOTHERS!

[geek tragedy]

7. It is amusing in that "what if men were objectified the way women are"

kind of way.

Didn't make me want to buy Kraft's mass-produced corn syrup goodness though. But to each their own--pissing some of the right people off.

[cali]

8. I love it!

pissing off OMM is one of the small pleasures in life.

[Cleita]

9. Didn't one million moms turn out to be a few crazy ladies?

Or, am I thinking of some other organization? Frankly, that's one zesty Italian I would want both in my picnic basket and carrying it.

[Squinch]

15. I think One Million Moms is the wife of The Catholic League. Their son Chip is also known as

United Youth of America Who Hate Those Who Are Different From Me.

[Archae]

24. One Million Moms is a subsidiary of the "American Family Association."

That boycott-everyone-we-don't-like group that has the Wildmons in charge and Bryan Fischer on the radio.

Fundy theocrats and bigots.

[Squinch]

27. I was just kidding around. Because the Catholic League really is pretty much just that one guy.

[MADem]

10. My, my, my....what's on that

wooden tray? Bruscetta?

I haven't had lunch, so the naked guy on the pic-a-nic cloth barely registers, but the food certainly is eye catching!

As for the Million Moms, let them boycott. No one will notice.

[SoCalDem]

11. Straight? Gay? Who cares?

Who wants a naked guy on their picnic cloth? especially BEFORE lunch

[HillWilliam]

69. Speak for yourself :D

If a "n*ked" guy looking like that showed up on my picnic cloth he could be lunch.

YMMV

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. What good Christian mothers will buy?

Hey Kraft stop putting high fructose corn syrup and gluten and then I will consider your product.

[SemperEadem]

81. thank you!!

I don't see OMM getting their panties in a twist over high fructose corn syrup and gluten and god know what other GMOs that are going into their over-processed foods, but they're going to play the Puritan card... typical.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

13. THANK YOU KRAFT!

[Rex]

14. So do they also boycott every car magazine, comic book

or any advertisement that sells sex (and perhaps a target product) with a woman in a two piece, straddling a motorcycle?

Actually, fuck them - that guy has smoking hot abs.

[LeftofObama]

17. "Actually, fuck them - that guy has smoking hot abs."

He sure as hell does! I don't even like Zesty Italian dressing, but that guy's abs make me want to run out and buy some!

[LondonReign2]

16. I find it hilarious they can't type out the word naked

[csziggy]

20. Or genitals, or sex!

I bet their husbands are among the Republicans would refuse to say uterus.

Democrat chastised for saying 'uterus' on House floor
Aaron_Sharockman
Thursday, March 31, 2011 11:49am

During last week's discussion about a bill that would prohibit governments from deducting union dues from a worker's paycheck, state Rep. Scott Randolph, D-Orlando, used his time during floor debate to argue that Republicans are against regulations -- except when it comes to the little guys, or serves their specific interests.

At one point Randolph suggested that his wife "incorporate her uterus" to stop Republicans from pushing measures that would restrict abortions. Republicans, after all, wouldn't want to further regulate a Florida business.

Apparently the GOP leadership of the House didn't like the one-liner.

They told Democrats that Randolph is not to discuss body parts on the House floor.

[Half-Century Man]

29. This is why I shouldn't be elected, ever

If this had happened to me. The very next day I would have worn a T-shirt reading

Vagina
Penis
Testicles
Ovaries

On the Front, and

Outside
Blowjob
Buttfuck
Threesomes

on the back

[Wait Wut]

51. I don't know you.

But, I'll vote for you just to see that.

[Half-Century Man]

54. What can I say

I have issues.

....Most children need loving feelings and teachings, others like myself, do just as well with a handful of extra ammo and a five minute head start.

[REP]

110. You got another vote

Those are issues I believe in.

[aquart]

66. Wait. What does "outside" mean?

[Half-Century Man]

74. Verbal dualism.

Outside of buildings or outside of epidermal layers. Either can be fun, but bugs land on your butt sometimes with the first.

[aquart]

77. Thank you.

DU is very educational.

[annabanana]

22. or genitals, for that matter.

Honestly.

A picnic sounds like fun.

[tabbycat31]

18. One Million Moms realizes something

That they'll never get some with a guy like him (he's okay, good body, but I've seen cuter faces).

One Million Moms needs to remove One Million Sticks from their asses (or get laid). There's a solution to all these 'offensive' TV shows they complain about. It's called a remote control. There's a solution to these magazines. It's called not reading them.

Perhaps they should only consume media produced by Focus on the Family.

[notadmblnd]

19. What images are put in an ad does not influence me to buy a product

What influences me is the price and taste. Oil ,salt and pepper is what I like to dress a salad with. If I want something sweet, I make a mayo, sugar and milk dressing. Both dressings are way cheaper than any thing store bought.

[flamingdem]

31. really? I just went out and bought 50 bottles!

[notadmblnd]

40. well if the guy actually came with it, I suppose I would buy at least one bottle

but the way my luck goes....

[BainsBane]

21. I like the zesty guy

He can chop my vegetables any time.

[flamingdem]

34. he can toss mah salad!

[zappaman]

75. !

[hobbit709]

23. I refer them to Michaelangelo's David

[Wait Wut]

52. Blasphemy!!!!

David was way cuter! I'm not a big fan of facial hair. Or body hair.

Oddly enough, almost every single one of my exes (and current) were covered in hair. It's a friggin' curse.

[BlueJazz]

25. Oh Brother. I've seen more skin on TV weather.

[surrealAmerican]

26. Zesty, sure, but ...

... is he Italian?

[aquart]

70. I wondered when someone would mention that.

[Arugula Latte]

116. Check for zucchini

I don't even know what that means.

[LittleBlue]

30. They must be bored to get excited about a salad dressing ad

Maybe they're not getting enough... er, zest in their lives

[Half-Century Man]

32. My only complaint

A bottle of wine, a baguette, a bunch of grapes, and bruschetta; Why does he have salad dressing? Are they gonna eat the yard?

[From The Ashes]

33. my first response was...

...there's salad dressing in that picture?

wow, zesty!

[Mike Nelson]

35. I've seen people wearing even less in advertising...

...the "Million Moms" are going to be fun!

[edbermac]

36. What the f*ck is their problem??

a n*ked man ??

covering his g*nitals??

to use s*x??

Honest to G*d!

I wonder if they've seen this one...

[William769]

38. That one's a keeper!

I got the video somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

[pacalo]

46. I'll check back later.

[Catherina]

37. William please, we're trying to get some serious work done here

Now I have drool all over my keyboard.

Hunkalicious!

Mmmmm....

[William769]

39. Welcome to my world.

[Catherina]

43. Oh my brother lol

and what a nice world it is but we're still going to make it better

[aquart]

68. I saved the picture to my hard drive.

I'm going to look at it every time I pick up a Harlequin.

[Catherina]

83. Lol! I almost did but

I almost did but I bookmarked it for future reference lol!

[aquart]

84. Nah, my Time Warner internet has been having absurd outages.

I want that picture where I can get it.

Do you think Google will now target me with Kraft ads?

[Catherina]

91. Maybe not Google but definitely the Washington Post lol!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017125514

[stevenleser]

41. If it annoys OMM, I'm generally for it. nt

[ellie]

42. Hey now!

How you doin'?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

44. I don't think I want a naked guy lounging on my tablecloth, but

that one can lounge anywhere else he wants. Hubba hubba.

Anyhow, if the ad annoys some collection of fundie bluenoses, I'm all for it. Anybody who feels they have to use asterisks to just spell naked, genitals and sex (let alone actually confront those things) has some very serious issues, and I'm happy to make them even more miserable.

[grilled onions]

45. Nice Bold Loin Cloth

But shouldn't he be representing loin of pork??? In my warped imagination I would have two life size ants (cute--not repulsive) and he would be in a zesty pair of Speedos and she would have a sultry two piece. They would be waiting for the humans to arrive with their Zesty dressing so that,the ants, could also enjoy the same.

[Liberal_in_LA]

47. lol

[etherealtruth]

49. Hey, I am a mom

I am not necessarily thrilled by the "sex sells" theme that is so predominant in advertising. I would prefer information, but .....

He is gorgeous!

[Wait Wut]

53. It's official.

There's something wrong with me. So many of the posters here think this young man is hot. I disagree.

I find this ridiculously adorable and if I met him in person I'd be Jello without a mold.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/josh_marshall.php

[WorseBeforeBetter]

59. He's waxed or lasered to within an inch of his life,

but he is very handsome. I know many like that hairless wonder look, but too much? Blech. To each his or her own, though.

[Wait Wut]

61. LOL! For a minute...

...I thought you were talking about Josh Marshall! Not sure how he'd feel about being called a 'hairless wonder'

And yes, this young man looks like a doll. He is 'pretty', but I like 'cute' or 'adorable' myself.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

106. Ha!

"Follicly challenged" for Josh? No matter, librul baldies with brains are hot, too.

[pnwmom]

100. I agree.

He must not be eating enough vegetables, or whatever. He's way too smooth.

[MerryBlooms]

56. He's beautiful.

I don't buy salad dressing, I make ours, but I think that will be a good ad campaign for Kraft-- people are talking about it and will remember it.

[aquart]

108. I like chest hair. Prevents that sucking sound.

[MerryBlooms]

111. Heh, ayup.

[zazen]

57. o/t, but what happened to his chest hair?

I don't think I'm completely objectifying, because his chest hair removal is part of some weird activity over the past 20 years to convince women that male chest hair is gross.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

60. I bet he has a killer tre*sure tr*il,

but that's been wiped out. Too bad.

[SamKnause]

58. Yum Yum

I do not know how this could offend anyone.

One Million Moms consist of 20,000 members.

They are pushing this country towards a Theocracy.

If everything offends this group, I would like to make a friendly suggestion.

They can buy an entire town and move there.

Their town can be void of televisions, radios, ipads, ipods, video games, sports, acting, dancing, computers, the internet, cell phones, land line phones, magazines etc. It is their town. They make the rules.

They can live in Bubble Town without the evil influence of us heathens.

I don't care if you are male or female, straight or gay.

That man is beautiful.

He is doing absolutely nothing vulgar, or sexual in that photo.

I enjoy looking at him, just as I enjoy looking at a beautiful sculpture, or painting.

[PDJane]

62. The eye candy is lovely.

I don't want to take him home, necessarily, but they are great to look at! I loved, for instance, the Mapplethorpe images. I don't see why a human body is so repulsive that it needs to be covered up all the time, frankly.

And the OMM group is a bit weird anyway.

[displacedtexan]

63. These are the same "moms," who probably watch the swim team boys in their Speedos and

not think there's anything lewd about it. And don't get me started on how they feel about naked Adam trying to touch God's hand on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

[aquart]

65. He's pretty.

Really nice legs.

[Uzair]

67. Objectification and sexualization of men

I just want to see if we can be consistent around here. This ought to be wrong, considering.

[aquart]

73. Or fair play.

Look at those cute little dark nipples.

[loyalsister]

96. I really really hate being on the same side as the OMMs

But I am bothered by the sexualization in this or any of the similar images of women.
One gives license to the other and both play a role in endorsing and perpetuating rape culture.

[snooper2]

114. LOL, you can change your way of thinking

You see a body that is not fully clothed and say RAPE CULTURE!



I got a way to fix it. Spend a weekend at the beach, drink your favorite beverage, walk around...look at all the sexy people..

Happy, kids playing, string bikinis and volleyball...surfers with ripped abs. It would be good!

[HillWilliam]

71. "N*ked"??? Seriously? "N*ked"?

Wow. If they have to star that out, there's some serious mental issues goin' on at OMM. I mean, even worse than I thought...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

80. I wonder how you pick which letter to substitute an asterisk for?

Couldn't they have spelled it "na*ed" or "nak*d"? How about "g*nitals"? Couldn't that be "geni*als" or "genit*ls"? And even "s*x" could be "*ex" or "se*"?

Seriously, these people are really fuc*ed in the head.

[HillWilliam]

98. I think the problem is

they aren't getting fuc*ed anywhere else either

[msanthrope]

104. DUzy ! nt

[CTyankee]

72. Doesn't this belong in the Lounge?

[William769]

89. Why?

There is nothing funny about this Group (although what the group does is funny) and it is national news.

[Quantess]

127. No. The issue is that One Million Moms, those uptight bigots, want to boycott Kraft now.

If history is consistent, a OMM boycott will only increase Kraft's sales. As soon as the public finds out OMM disapproves, it seems like people rush out to support that company.

[CTyankee]

130. Sorry, I was too quick to accurately assess this article. My mistake.

[SemperEadem]

76. I cannot see anything disgusting about that...

it's too bad I don't eat Kraft's foods and not even he could induce me to put their food in my mouth, but he is a tasty little treat there...

I think that the one mom who penned this hysterical screed needs to just speak for herself--this mom digs the image.

[NoPasaran]

82. Looks like Jesus at a picnic

[aquart]

85. He's been hiding THAT under robes?

No wonder the early christians believed in agape.

[WovenGems]

87. Sounds like

One Million Grandmoms.

[LWolf]

115. Grandmoms appreciate the human body.

We've had more experience with it than the young.

[Wolf Frankula]

90. Whenever I hear that the Mothers of America are Up in Arms

over something, I know it's just a few people making noise, and somebody with something to sell.

Wolf

[Nye Bevan]

92. I can't believe that someone is using a sexy semi-nude model to sell stuff.

Really, I never heard of such a thing.

[William769]

93. It's never been done before I tell ya!

[Buns_of_Fire]

95. Totally false advertising.

I bought five bottles of the stuff, and after chugging three of them, I didn't start to look anything like that. I found that it DOES make an acceptable substitute for Ex-Lax if ingested in sufficient quantities, though.

[Inkfreak]

97. Strange. I don't remember posing for that picture. n/t

[pnwmom]

99. There appears to be something missing from the picture.

Hair.

He's way too smooth.

[bunnies]

101. Im not gonna buy your shitty products...

but thanks for the hot guy!

[left on green only]

102. Old Hippie Here

Didn't Kraft, or one of their subsidiaries, used to manufacture napalm? I haven't bought one of their products since the '60's. Funny how stuff like that sticks.

[ecstatic]

103. The guy is really cute but

is this ad supposed to make me imagine eating food off of his body? I'm a food prude, extremely picky... I don't even like sharing cups/bottles with my SO. He would be perfect in a cologne ad, but I'm turned off by the combination of salad dressing and lightly covered genitals.

[idwiyo]

107. Mmmmmmmm... Damn he looks delicious! Do they sell him in UK?

[HappyMe]

113. Giggity!

Now that would be a delicious lunch!

Anything that pisses off the 15 OMM is good in my book.

[The Straight Story]

117. Well..if the person in the ad was female some here would be calling for it to be banned

and would call the ad disgusting. Only things worse than men looking at an ad of a woman in a similar situation and saying "she looks...." (followed by any words at all) is if those men added "I would do something for her that I wouldn't do for others (like help carry her groceries)."

Guess we have our own version of "one million moms" too.

Let's rewrite the article a tad (as though the person in the ad had been female and it had been posted here):

Kraft has gone too far and will push away loyal, Progressive customers with this new ad campaign. Women will not be able to buy Kraft dressings or any of their products until they clean up their advertising. The consumers they are attempting to attract - men and fathers - are the very ones they are driving away. Who will want Kraft products in their fridge or pantry if this vulgarity is what they represent?

Women cannot get over the gall of this company. It is unnecessary for Kraft to use s*x to sell salad dressing!

[William769]

125. Get over it.

[bunnies]

118. Kraft should be completely fucking ashamed of themselves...

for using an ad campaign that was CLEARLY meant for wishbone.

[Gormy Cuss]

119. Oh no, they don't think he's gay. That would make their heads explode.

On a serious note, this shocks them, but do they even notice it when women in ads are posed as seductively? I'll bet not.

[William769]

121. Finally someone gets it!

[DirkGently]

123. American conservative Christians not buying Kraft products. Riiiight.

They'd die of starvation in minutes.

[burnodo]

124. I'm a guy

Yet I find this hunk fairly compelling

[Shrike47]

126. If you can't deal with the words naked or sex or genitals, for God's sake, you're too dumb to live.

I can just imagine their counting skills: 1, 2, a thousand, a million...

[sarge43]

129. Mama mia, that was zesty ....

Oh. You meant the salad dressing?
